Rebuilding Mechanical Chain Tensioner
Guys I know I am going to take serious flak for asking this question. However I have about $4000 in to a rebuild and at this time do not have the funds for a Carrera tensioner upgrade kit (unless anyone wants to donate one to the cause) So my question is this has anyone rebuilt their mechanical tensioners and if so whats involved. Is it worth buying the Chain Tensioner Slip Prevention Collars if I go this route. I know I should really wait till I can afford the pressure fed.....

Porsche used to sell a rebuild kit for chain tensioners. Not sure now, but it is/was a service procedure. Check the usual parts places.
It's pretty simple. Remove internal snap ring, remove parts, clean, install replacement parts, re-assemble, bleed tensioner, then reinstall. Sherwood |

911pcars by bleed the tensioner do you mean once new parts installed fill the tensioner body with oil replace cap, snap ring then compress plunger bleeding oil through the side port?

Opps. I haven't done this for awhile. I recall there's a breather port on the side of the tensioner. Remove stopper bolt to bleed the tensioner. Reinstall the bolt while submerged. If our host doesn't carry the rebuilding kit, try ******** or do a search on the internet. Sherwood Last edited by 911pcars; 06-25-2010 at 12:55 AM.. |

I bought mine through partsquick.com which seem to be no longer in business,
shame, they were cheap. I believe these are still available, just not through PP. This site might help you: ::911 TENSIONERS:::: I also found a corkscrew handy for removing the inner O-ring. andy |
